  Notes	Find-a-Grave: The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 112, No 16, p 486, Apr. 18, 1 932. This memorial for Effie I. Sholtz will ever be a reminder of one whose l ife was of highest Christian character, and of a faithful servant in ch urch work. She was born April 10, 1874, at North Loup, Neb. She became a Christian w hile young in life, being baptized when about thirteen years of age and j oining the Long Branch Church at Humboldt, Neb. Later her membership wa s changed to the church at Grand Junction, Iowa, when the family moved t o that place. In 1905, she moved to Nortonville, Kan., and joined there . The last twelve years of her life she was a member of this (Verona) c hurch. During almost the entire length of that time she taught a Sabbat h school class, whose members grew from junior age to young people duri g the time of her teaching. Always interested in the welfare of the ch urch, she never shirked her duty and many were the ways she assisted. Hers was a life of cheerfulness and energy; always looking on the brigh t side of life, she made life happy for those about her. And she, herse lf, was never happier than when busy at something. The fact that she wa s a mother of six children, all of whom are members of this church, reflects her stro g Christian character. It is hoped that impressions made by her kind, s weet influence will be passed down through the future of this church by t he lives of these children, and her grandchildren, which number ten. Remembrances of a pure life like hers may prove a valuable incentive to i creased faithfulness, encourage hope in the hour of depression, and gi ve fresh inspiration in Christian life. Joseph and Effie were married Aug 10, 1898 in Des Moines, Polk County, I owa
